Start the day drinking coffee while watching the sunrise over the lake

Imagine this: Starting the day in your serene sanctuary, listening to the peaceful whispering of water lapping the shore, a warm cup of coffee in your hands, as you watch the sun rise over the water. Every day can be this special when you live at Bellaviva, a brand-new Highland Homes neighborhood of new homes in Auburndale, Florida.
